What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by opendefender/openrisk in .claude/skills/openrisk-claim-matrix/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

No statement describing what OpenRisk does may ship unless the implementing code exists and a user can reach it.

The matrix — docs/MARKETING_CLAIM_MATRIX.md

IDClaim (EN)Claim (FR)StatusEvidence (file:line + test)SurfaceVerified on

Status: VERIFIED · PARTIAL · MOCKED · ABSENT · PLANNED

Rules

  • PLANNED claims are future tense and visually marked on the surface where they appear. "Will support X in Q1" is honest. "Supports X" is not.
  • MOCKED and ABSENT claims never appear on a public surface. No exception.
  • Evidence is a file path plus a passing test. A design file, a screenshot, or a green build is not evidence that a feature works.
  • A UI whose endpoint 500s because its table is excluded from AutoMigrate is MOCKED, not PARTIAL.
  • A widget with a graceful fallback for a nonexistent endpoint is MOCKED.
  • Re-verify the whole matrix before every release, site deploy and milestone close.
  • Anyone may add a claim; only product-verifier may set VERIFIED.
